Victorian Undersleeves

These undersleeves are made from Verona lawn, a very fine cotton that feels like silk.  I decorated the cuffs with some trapunto and French knot embroidery, and the buttonholes are made by hand.  The undersleeves are worn with my 1860 tartan taffeta dress.   I added lace which matches that on the habit shirt.  The sleeves are 16 inches long overall, and button into the dress sleeve lining.
